An atoll changes into a guyot primarily due to geological processes involving volcanic activity and erosion. Initially, an atoll forms around a volcanic island as coral reefs develop, but as the volcanic island erodes and sinks due to tectonic activity, the coral continues to grow upward. Over time, if the island submerges completely, the remaining coral structure becomes a flat-topped underwater mountain, known as a guyot. This transformation reflects the dynamic interplay between coral growth and geological changes in the Earth's crust.

The flattened top of a guyot is primarily caused by erosion and wave action when the seamount is at or near sea level. Over time, as tectonic activity causes the seamount to sink below the ocean surface, the top becomes submerged, resulting in the characteristic flat shape. Additionally, the process of volcanic activity that forms guyots can also contribute to their flat tops, as the peaks are worn down by the ocean's currents and waves.
